We were recommended this restaurant by a trusted local, and I'm so glad we came. The food was absolutely delicious and had all the comfort dishes you might be craving. The service was amazing from start to finish. I ordered the steak with mashed potatoes and veggies, which also came with a salad, and everything was cooked perfectly. My colleague got the wings and fries and loved them as well. The place was busy, and now I know why it's that good. I'd definitely come back! read more

The place looks a bit old fashioned and there's nothing wrong with it personally. The service was 5/10 I felt though the waiter didn't really do the best. On top of it all the food was so bad and bland that we didn't end up eating after a while and it was not the best price for the food. Personally I've gave them a couple of chances and it's not worth my money. read more

Ordered the steak Medium came back well done. Server didn't offer to take it back? Only said, let me check what I wrote, then nothing after that. I tried to eat it, but my jae is getting sore. My server stopped by my table and only said, "oh so sorry". I ate my baked potato to at least eat something. I strongly support small businesses. But my last time coming here. At least the coffee was good. Disappointing read more

First, their website menu pricing is very out of date. I ordered the New York steak and fettuccine plus a soft drink. The steak was slightly overcooked, and the fettuccine was very saucy, so much so that I wanted to pour some off. What concerned me more was the undisclosed and added $5.25 "service charge" to my bill. This made my total over $50. including tip. seems pretty steep to me for a mediocre meal read more

Unfortunately, we've crossed another Ukiah restaurant off our list of businesses to support. We went to Star's Restaurant on Friday, April 10 for dinner. I was quite surprised at the hike in prices since our last visit, but recognize that everyone is using this opportunity to raise prices. My husband ordered the baby back ribs and I ordered the 4 piece fried chicken dinner. My fried chicken was so overcooked and dried out, I could barely eat it. And the vegetables felt like they had been waved at a heat source and put on the plate raw! My husband's ribs were quite tough on the outside to the point of having to leave the outside two ribs and just eating the inside ribs. Paying $60 for two dinners (no drinks except water) is bearable if the food is edible. This was not. The waitress took our orders, brought the food, never checked in on us throughout the meal and never asked us how our food was (I would have told her if she had asked). Sorry, Stars, another unhappy customer. I agree with Nate R. I do want to support local small businesses, but they have to be worthy of support. read more

Simple traditional diner all the locals come here. For lunch breakfast and dinner. Open late and they serve breakfast all day. Prices are a little steep but big quantities. Good kids menu with $8.45 for most meals and wide variety. (Oct 2023) Lots of wraps and the fajitas are also delicious with a lot of meat. Good quick service too read more

We absolutely LOVE visiting this restaurant. Many decades later they're still providing extremely good customer service and DELICIOUS food. One thing for sure, ARRIVE HUNGRY, cause the portions are HUGE! Their menu has something for everybody. Oh, and leave room for dessert, so yummy. The ambiance is family style and VERY clean. Prices are fair compared to what you get. Ample parking too. STARS is our "go to" spot back when we were raising our kids, now we're bringing our grandkids:) read more

Went for dinner. The place is filled with locals, most of them over 70, and probably have been coming in for a long time. The decor is brown and depressingly drab. The whole place smelled musty. Service was actually very good, our waitress checked on us often and the food came quickly. It was obvious that she knew most of the people at the restaurant, and knew their usual order by heart. The prices were, in my opinion, outrageous. It's the type of prices I expect to see in a semi fancy, well decorated, non musty smelling restaurant. $30 for fish and chips? $20 for a burger? $20 for a salad? The food was ok, but not outstanding by any stretch, and definitely not worth the price. The one thing I can say was that one of the dishes came with french fries, and the french fries were nice and crispy and very hot. Maybe some other dishes would be outstanding, but not the ones we ordered. Over all, had to try the local place, but I don't think I'm coming back. read more

Good food. Great service. Full cup of coffee constantly warmed up. Provided a full plate of food, warm and great taste.

We were in Ukiah and happened upon Stars. It's a great diner! There was plenty of good food and prepared well. You won't leave there hungry. I had the steak and spaghetti. The spaghetti was great, the steak not so much. Yan had the fajita combo. She liked it! The waitress was smiling and saw to us quickly. Great service. This Stars has been in Ukiah for years. It could use a remodel but it's still passable. Check them out... They have not only a menu, their menu is a book.. read more

You know what you're going to get at Stars. It's a little high in prices, but the wait staff is always awesome and friendly, and the food is mostly consistent. My hubby and I live out in the country, but we usually go to Stars once or twice a month when we make it to town for shopping. read more

We arrived the last hour of the day, and ordered dinner. The waitress was nice and attentive, and the dinner was delicious. Not too many people in there for a Saturday night. After dinner, she dropped off the check, and disappeared. We wanted to order dessert, but there was no sign of our waitress anywhere. We flagged down a bus person, who went and fetched our waitress, who looked a little bit annoyed at being pulled out of the back. She gave us a couple of dessert menus and then disappeared again. After 15 minutes of waiting, we grew annoyed and headed for the cashier stand. We told the person (who I think was the manager) that we wanted to order dessert, but our waitress never came back. He just smiled, and said "yeah." Puzzled, I said that I think she forgot about us. He smiled again, and said "yeah." I don't know if there was a language barrier, or if they were just in a hurry to close. Either way, I paid our bill and left. Not good service to brush off or ignore your customer. read more

We celebrated my son's birthday at Star's restaurant today. The staff was friendly and genuinely wanted us to have a great experience. The restaurant has a relaxing ambiance. I am an extremely picky eater but I was impressed by the food quality. I ordered the "Star's chicken wrap" and it was delicious! My husband ordered the "Joe's skillet" and he was a happy camper. My daughter ordered chicken fettuccine pasta that came with a side salad-portions are huge! My two boys each had an Oreo milkshake with chicken strips and fries/fruits. Our waitress was a sweetheart, she came out with some of the cooks and sang happy birthday to my son. She also surprised him with a Neapolitan ice cream sundae. We are so happy and grateful to Star's restaurant & staff for making my son's birthday dinner extra special. Thank you & see you soon! read more

I ordered the tri-tip French dip and man...it was delicious! The sandwich was generous with a lot of tri-tip and it wasn't too salty as it is at other places. Yes, it's a bit overpriced, but I was very pleased with the sandwich so I'd say it's worth it. Service is a little slow as we sat outside and had to remind them that we were there so that we could take our order. But once the food came out, we were set and they checked on us one more time. I'd come back for that sandwich as it was great! read more

My wife and I were passing through Ukiah on our way north to our son's Thanksgiving celebration and we stopped at Star's for lunch. This is a good restaurant with a large menu, friendly staff, and tasty food. I was feeling like only a light lunch and felt like a large bowl of chili. Unfortunately, I did not see it on the menu. I asked the server if they had chili and was pleased that they did (they make it for other dishes as an accompaniment), even though it was not on the menu. It was just what I wanted and very good ($5.45). My wife had the BBQ Chicken Sandwich ($12.55), which she thoroughly enjoyed. (As she does not like pepper jack cheese, they cheerfully substituted it for another cheese more pleasing to her). For dessert, we had a Double Fudge Cake ($6.50), that was a huge slice of a rich chocolate experience with delicious fudge in it. The price of coffee seems a bit high ($3.25, more than Starbucks for a brewed coffee), but they generously filled my wife's travel coffee container at no extra charge. The next time we are passing by at mealtime, we will be back to try some of their other offerings. read more

I would give them less stars if I could. Arrived just after 6, waiting 15 minutes for menu after being seated, another 15 minutes for her to come back and take the order then after waiting well over an hour I requested my dinner be prepared to go. It was thrown in a box un cooked. I ordered the ground sirloin (I've ordered many times) they threw 2 hamburger under cooked hamburger patties and un-toasted bread.The onion and mushrooms toppings were raw and barely warmed. They said because they were too busy... that will be the LAST time I will EVER eat there and will be telling EVERYONE about my experience. read more

I ordered a BLTA wrap and fries for lunch and it was about $20. The fries were still warm but very stale. They tasted like they had been cooked ahead of time and reheated or sitting under a hot lamp for a while. I thought I was going to chip my tooth when I took a bite. There was no potato left in there it was just hard and crunchy. The wrap was loose and sloppy with more sauce than anything else. It seemed like it was salad with bacon bits that they just wrapped up in a tortilla. The bacon bits were more like crumbled up bacon bits that you buy from the grocery store other than real cooked bacon. I really don't see how they can charge almost $20 for that crap. I do not recommend and will not be going back. I would give zero stars if that was an option. It seems like this place is trying to make a profit rather than serve decent food. You can find better in a hospital cafeteria. read more

Two words: avocado eggrolls Three words: Chocolate triple cake (not its real name) So late night brings us here for an 830 dinner time... Waitress recommended the avocado eggrolls and she did not disappoint with the recommendation. The menu is extensive... there are ton of options both meat eater and veggie lover. Most importantly-- there are a ridiculous amount of sweet treats like their cakes (I recommend the chocolate cake), sundaes, banana caramel something or other (I think it was french toast or a waffle) etc. Service was decent This is the first place I have ever had a cherry in my iced tea with an umbrella. cute touch. read more

Breakfast served ALL day??? Yes please! If you have a sudden craving for an omelet, eggs Benedict, or a simple steak and eggs, then head on over! Lots of choices from their menu, including a vegetarian section. I got the eggs Benedict with turkey, avocado, and diced fresh tomatoes. Hubby got a yummy steak sandwich on a roll with a side of golden cooked fries. Really generous portions and I'm following a gluten free plus dirty keto diet...so there are many options to choose from! We keep coming back because the service is terrific and they really cater to kids. They offer crayons, a coloring place mat and kids menu -- so it's the perfect place to go to if you have a rowdy bunch of munchkins. We're also always seated instantly, so no waiting or standing around which is a plus! Family friendly -- I noticed how they address their regulars by their first name as they're topping off their cup of coffee. Really nice small town vibe you get from this place! This is one of our favorite spots in Ukiah...If you're looking for simple, down home cooking, I urge you to try Stars! read more

Sat at the table completely ignored for over a half hour before I even got the chance to order. Then it took about 45 minutes to get the food. Of course the waitress had to argue and tell me I was wrong and that I hadn't been waiting for that long, as if I don't know how to read a clock. Once I finally got the food, she apologized for the long wait (which she denied prior to that), before getting rude again. When I go spend money in an establishment, arguments and poor service is not usually on my to-do list. When the food came, it was undercooked and seemed thrown together with very little care. I can't see myself ever eating here again. read more

The food was really good. The service was fantastic. But the prices were ridiculously high. $18.55 for a rueben with cole slaw is a bit much. They do have beer though, so that was nice. read more

The service was very good but my breakfast was kind of lame. I'd say that my food was 2 stars. But the service was 4 stars. So I'm being generous and averaging them out to 3 stars. I had an expensive "meat lovers omelette" that was pretty sad, with hardly any meat (see photo)! And I had a $3.25 coffee that was burned up and pretty gross from sitting on the burner too long. I probably would have been better off going to Denny's - seriously. The servers all seemed super nice and they were running all over like industrious, friendly, busy bees. I saw some of the other Yelp photos and the food in some of the photos looked pretty good. But mine was disappointing. I probably won't come back. I'd much rather grab breakfast at the Maple...or the Mutt Hut...or Mama's. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

2 things: 1: Stars wouldn't accept the 10% discount that was on Yelp 2: My niece ordered something off the kid menu, it came with a drink but she ordered water. When I asked if I could put my coke with her meal, I was told, no. I mentioned I would be writing a bad review on Yelp, the manager stated, "that was fine, honest people have nothing to be worried about." Honest people, really! Like I am the dishonest person and he is a manager???? He definitely needs some managerial experience. I hope the owner reads this review.
